Initiative 594 imposes additional requirements on Concealed Pistol License holders already background checked by local law enforcement and approved to purchase and carry firearms. The additional checks are expensive, burdensome on both individuals and state and local government, sometimes impossible to access, and serve no public safety purpose. I-594 already recognizes that: “(1) All firearm sales or transfers, in whole or part in this state including without limitation a sale or transfer where either the purchaser or seller or transferee or transferor is in Washington, shall be subject to background checks unless specifically exempted by state or federal law.” Also note that the federal BATF has already recognized our CPL as a substitute for the NICS background check! Please support a bill that would exempt Concealed Pistol License holders from the requirements of RCW 9.41.113 (I-594).

Washington Arms Collectors
